In the case of a GSM Claim that the Danger Software causes an infringement, if in Danger's opinion the claim can be avoided by making changes to the Danger Software at minimal cost, Danger shall use reasonable efforts to make such changes. If the cost of making such changes is, in Danger's opinion, too expensive or difficult to make, Danger shall have no obligation to make the changes unless the parties mutually agree in writing.

(d) Sharp shall be responsible for all GSM royalty obligations or license fees arising out of the manufacture or sale of Products under this Agreement. Danger shall refer all parties seeking GSM royalties to Sharp. The Parties shall work together to take advantage of licensing opportunities with GSM rights holders to reduce GSM royalty obligations and license fees.

6. Test Plan.

The parties have identified the regulatory and industry tests listed below for the commercial launch of M2 in the United States. Additional testing, including those for carrier approval processes or for European launch, may also be required. Pursuant to Section 4.3(f)(i) of the Agreement, Sharp shall, at its expense, conduct such tests and Danger shall provide Sharp with reasonable support (described in more detail below) at no charge (except for reimbursement of Danger's out-of-pocket expenses which Sharp must fully agree in advance).

The parties shall share testing costs as follows:

(a) PTCRB, GCF and Bluetooth Testing[ * ] shall pay for the lab time testing costs recommended by [ * ] ("X hours") + up to [ * ] hours of additional lab time for follow-up testing. The additional testing (up to [ * ] hours) is to be expected as follow-up on the initial [ * ] testing. If additional testing, above X + [ * ] hours ("Overtime"), is required [ * ], then [ * ] will pay the Overtime test costs. [ * ] pay for Overtime test costs related to [ * ] issues. If Overtime testing is required because of [ * ] software problems, then Sharp and Danger will request [ * ] to pay for such Overtime test costs. If [ * ] refuses, Sharp shall manage [ * ] to reach a suitable resolution.

Note: the [ * ] estimate for testing will need to be confirmed by Danger and Sharp as a reasonable estimate.

(b) Carrier Testing. [ * ] will pay for up to [ * ] hours testing lab time for each carrier. (This includes, but is not limited to costs of [ * ] for [ * ]). Additional testing needed above [ * ] hours will be paid for by [ * ]; however, if it is determined that the problem causing the need for such additional testing is [ * ], then [ * ] shall reimburse [ * ] for the costs of such additional testing. For carrier customers to whom Danger provides M2 directly, [ * ] be responsible for any of the expenses for the carrier approval testing, unless otherwise agreed upon in writing by Danger and Sharp. If [ * ] and/or [ * ] reach business agreement with Sharp to purchase Products from Sharp, [ * ] will look after the testing costs for those carriers that purchase Products from Sharp.

(c) FCC and CE Testing. [ * ] shall pay for all [ * ] test costs.

Danger shall provide the following support for testing:

Danger will provide full support to Sharp Corporation in the area of compliance testing and certification, utilizing the experience gained on previous Danger projects. Danger will provide a specification document providing details of government regulatory and specific industry mandatory requirements that must be met in order to ship a product. Danger will also

manage the acceptance process for the embedded GSM and Bluetooth radio modules and verify that all required government and industry compliance tests are completed by those suppliers.

For GSM industry approval (and PTCRB and GCF, if required), Danger will supply engineering resources to attend the testing on-site without charge for any testing booked at [ * ] at [ * ]. Engineering resources may be available to support testing at other laboratories (including [ * ] in [ * ]) and locations provided that Sharp Corporation covers any travel related expenses for Danger's Palo Alto, CA based personnel. Any travel related expenses shall be discussed and confirmed with Sharp prior to being incurred. In addition, Danger will provide feedback and analysis of test results obtained by Sharp throughout the product development cycle to aid the resolution of any test failures that occur.

Danger will have the right to use the test results internally for product management and planning purposes. In the event that Danger wishes to disclose this data for the purpose of establishing new carrier customers, Danger shall acquire Sharp's written consent in advance.

The following schedule is based on the agreed schedule of [ * ]/Danger/Sharp.

6. Test Plan.

The parties have identified the regulatory and industry tests listed below for the commercial launch of SHURIKEN in the United States. Additional testing, including those for carrier approval processes, may also be required. Pursuant to Section 4.3(f)(i) of the Agreement, Sharp shall, at its expense, conduct such tests and Danger shall provide Sharp with reasonable support (described in more detail below) at no charge (except for reimbursement of Danger's out-of-pocket expenses which Sharp must agree in advance).

The parties shall share testing costs as follows:

PTCRB, Testing. [ * ] shall pay for the lab time testing costs recommended by the PTCRB approved test lab selected by Sharp ("X hours") + up to [ * ] hours of additional lab time for follow-up testing. The additional testing (up to [ * ] hours) is to be expected as follow-up on the initial testing. If additional testing, above X + [ * ] hours ("Overtime"), is required [ * ], then [ * ] will pay the Overtime test costs. [ * ] pay for Overtime test costs related to [ * ] issues. If Overtime testing is required because of [ * ] software defects, then Sharp and Danger will request [ * ] to pay for such Overtime test costs. If [ * ] refuses, Sharp shall manage [ * ] to reach a suitable resolution.

Note: the test lab's estimate for testing will need to be confirmed by Danger and Sharp as a reasonable estimate.

(a) Carrier Testing. [ * ] will pay for up to [ * ] hours testing lab time for each carrier. (This includes, but is not limited to costs for [ * ]'s test lab). Additional testing needed above [ * ] hours will be paid for by [ * ]; however, if it is determined that the problem causing the need for such additional testing is [ * ], then [ * ] shall reimburse Sharp for the costs of such additional testing. For carrier customers to whom Danger provides Shuriken directly, [ * ] be responsible for any of the expenses for the carrier approval testing, unless otherwise agreed upon in writing by Danger and Sharp.

(b) Legally Required Tests. Sharp shall pay for all legally required test and approval costs (e.g. FCC/IC).

Danger shall provide the following support for testing:

Danger will provide full support to Sharp Corporation in the area of compliance testing and certification, utilizing the experience gained on previous Danger projects. Sharp will provide Danger with a copy of all pre-compliance (internal) as well as official test results and reports (external) obtained as part of the compliance verification process.

For GSM industry approval (PTCRB), will be managed by Sharp and [ * ]. Danger will supply engineering resources to attend the testing on-site without charge for any testing booked at [ * ] at [ * ]. Engineering resources may be available to support testing at other laboratories (including [ * ] in the [ * ]) and locations provided that Sharp Corporation covers any travel related expenses for Danger's Palo Alto, CA based personnel. Any travel related expenses shall be discussed and confirmed with Sharp prior to being incurred. In addition, Danger will provide feedback and analysis of test results obtained by Sharp throughout the product development cycle to aid the resolution of any test failures that occur.

Danger will have the right to use the test results internally for product management and planning purposes. In the event that Danger wishes to disclose this data for the purpose of establishing new carrier customers, Danger shall acquire Sharp's written consent in advance.

The following schedule is based on the agreed schedule of [ * ]/Danger/Sharp.
